RITUAL READING 



As Daughters of the American Revolution, endeavor- 
inpf to freshly embalm the memory of the patriotic self- 
sacrifice of our forefathers, we hope to serve the country 
for which they fought and died, by encouraging a more 
zealous and abiding patriotism in the heart and life of 
every American Citizen. 



"GOD OF OUR FATHERS, KNOV^N OP OLD. 
LORD OF OUR FAR-FLUNG BATTLE LINE, 
BENEATH WHOSE AWFUL HAND WE HOLD 
DOMINION OVER PALM AND PINE, 
LORD GOD OF HOSTS, BE WITH US YET, 
LEST WK FORGET, LEST WE FORGET." 




• THE GODDESS OF FREEDOM DIPPED HER BRUSH. 
IN THE AZURE HUE AND THE CRIMSON FLUSH 
OF THE SKY AT THE SUNSET HOUR. 
AND ON A GROUND OF SNOWY WHITE. 
ALL QUIVERING IN CELESTIAL LIGHT. 
SHE DREW WITH MAGIC POWER 
A SQUARE OF BLUE. AND STRIPES OF RED, 
AND AS IT FLOATED O'ER HER HEAD. 
SHE SPRINKLED IT WITH STARS. 
SHE FLUNG IT TO THE WINDS OF HEAVEN 
AND PRAYED THAT IT MIGHT EVER WAVE 
ABOVE A GREAT AND HAPPY NATION- 
ABOVE A PEOPLE FREE AND BRAVE."
